The National Defense Authorization Act

On New Years Eve, while everyone is preparing for festivities, drinking their hearts out, and distracted, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) from Hawaii.

This act basically lets the military and government detain American citizens that they deem suspicious or terrorists. In simple terms this means those who oppose the government and everything it tries to do, speak out against it and tell the truth are labeled enemy number one and treated that way.

Under the 14th Amendment people in America, citizens or not, are given due process and habeas corpus . These two clauses are very important because it makes clear the line between people power and tyranny. Due process allows a person detained to be judged by a jury of their peers, allow them to be present for their court hearing and more. Habeas corpus is the most important because it allows a detained person to know why they are being detained and allow them to fight, repeal, their detention.

However, in the case of a serious event habeas corpus can be suspended. See why its important to know the Constitution?

Under the NDAA and Patriot Act the writ of habeas corpus has been suspended and many of the basic bill of rights have been void under the “war on terror”.

I will be honest right now, the war on terror reminds me of the war on drugs. How you ask? Well they start out “sounding good,” but in reality it is used as a way to disadvantage certain people and the very people that started the war are the ones that create “solutions,” but years later after many have been: detained, killed, locked up, hurt, and communities destroyed, suddenly these very same problem solvers admit that the war was a bust.

The “war on terror” was never about terrorism, but power and control. Now some people will become upset and may at this point stop reading, but the majority will say what about 9-11 what about the 3000 American lives lost that day. My heart goes out to the family of those who lost loved ones on that day, but 3000 lives is nothing compared to the million of lives taken because of the “war on terror.”

So because 3000 Americans were killed it justifies the killing of over 5 million Iraqi’s, Afghanistani’s, Libyan’s, and more? No I know it will be hard for some to hear it, but Americans lives are not greater than the lives of people in other countries. Americans lives are not going to make it to heaven quicker than the lives of an Iraqi, Libyan, Mexican, and more. The life of an American is in no way more human than the life of a non-American and this is what people fail to realize.

American’s are arrogant, they are taught to believe they are above non-Americans, ethnicity doesn’t matter. American’s are told to be prideful and boastful and to wave their red, white, and blue everywhere, to look down on those that do not speak like them, think like them, dress like them, or look like them. They are taught to be closed minded and fearful of “foreigners. But most importantly, Americans are told to trust their government and to believe that their country is superior to all others; because their country is superior so are they.

This learned attitude is the very reason why 9-11 had so many Americans, mostly white but still, shaken, this is why many Americans blindly follow their government and turn a blind eye to the evil their government does, this is why so many Americans are stupid to the history of how “America” came to be and this is why the American educational system is as poor as it is.

This very attitude is why 95% of Congress people are reelected despite doing the same shitty job they have been doing, this very attitude is why Congress can pimp out the American people without problem, this very attitude is why Americans were killing themselves during the recession, and this very attitude is why the very people who caused the recession are still in power.

This very attitude is why the American people, mostly white this time, were so surprised to see police brutality done to them to protect the 1% and this very attitude is why the NDAA was passed so easily without problem. The American dream filled with materialism also plays a part into everything I have said, but humans give power to what they view or are taught as necessary.

Unless I say something can have a hold over me it can’t, but the American people have freely given over their wallets, their families, their lives, their freedoms, and sadly their minds over to their country and they are reaping what they have sown. No country is perfect, so why do we lie to ourselves and try to make one the poster child of perfection? 

Thanks to the NDAA people in the military can now sleep with animals. Like what the heck? Why would any human want to lay down with an animal? The excuse for this is that since they have allowed sodomy they must allow beastiality. {PAUSE}

Since when are people of the same-sex sleeping together on the same level as beastiality? Tell me in what world does that make sense? All this shows me is that the people in Congress and behind the scenes are sick twisted bastards that want the world to be on board with what is morally and ethically wrong.

Sleeping with an animal is disgusting, I mean really? This is another reason why I cannot and will not ever give a guy in the military or navy or any form of it a second glance, the nonsense they do in those places, smh.

God already said that one of the signs of the world turning is when what is good will be deemed bad and what is bad will be deemed good. People need to have critical thinking, question any and everything never believe something because you were told it through the news or any other bs outlet, the day of objective journalism has diminished especially once reporters started covering the war in 2003.

Some people may call you paranoid, but don’t be offended just tell them: its hard to rob the house of a woman who has always prepared for such a day.

    Americans Lose Constitution & Country To New Fascist Legislation

    Almost every week there are published news accounts of Police Corruption, e.g. Police taking bribes, aiding & smuggling illegal drugs, robbing drug-dealers and committing perjury. ALERT! Perjury by police and their informants may now pose the greatest threat to Americans’ Freedom due to Congress in December 2011 passing (NDAA) The National Defense Authorization ACT of 2012. Under (NDAA) Government does not need probable cause or corroborating evidence to Indefinitely Detain Americans without charges, no right to an attorney, trial or Habeas Corpus; Police that falsify reports and give perjured testimony can now cause innocent Americans to be swept off the street and indefinitely incarcerated for being a suspected terrorist or supporting Terrorism: Note no violent act is required to be charged with involvement in terrorism under(NDAA).

    If that is not scary enough, Congress is now considering HR 3166 and S. 1698 also known as the “Enemy Expatriation Act” sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA) that would let Government Strip Your Citizenship Without a Conviction. Once an American’s Citizenship is stripped they have no rights whatsoever. To read article, search title: New Bill Known As Enemy Expatriation Act Would Allow Government To Strip Citizenship Without Conviction.
    To read the full text of the bill, go here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h112-3166

    Currently there are several Multi-State Recall Petitions of Congressman that voted for The National Defense Authorization ACT of 2012.

    Some observers believe NDAA included the vague term “Belligerent” in the manner it did, so U.S. Government would have authority granted by Congress to Indefinitely Detain large numbers of Americans not involved in terrorism. Under NDAA, U.S. Government can deem anyone a “Belligerent” for indefinite detention. The term “Belligerent” is so expansive and vague an American Citizen could be labeled a “Belligerent” for exercising First Amendment Rights—speaking out for or against any issue; protesting a U.S. Government Policy; agency or coalition Partner. It is foreseeable U.S. Government will threaten Americans with Indefinite Detention that refuse to act as informants. The East German Stasi Police used this tactic to create an army of neighborhood and other informants.

    The passed (Defense Authorization Act of 2012) appears more threatening to Americans than (Hitler’s FASCIST 1933 Discriminatory LAWS) that suspended provisions in the Reich Constitution that Protected German Citizens’ Civil Liberties? For example—Hitler’s 1933 DISCRIMINATORY LAWS (stated fines and time limits) that German Citizens could be incarcerated for e.g., Serious Disturbance of the Peace, Provoking Public Unrest, Rioting; Acts that threatened National Security. In contrast Senators John McCain and Carl Levin’s passed National Defense Authorization Act of 2012—mandates holding Americans’ (Indefinitely) in Military Custody for being a mere “Belligerent.”

    Under the passed National Defense Authorization, could some Americans (Retroactively) be subject to Indefinite U.S. Military or Prison Detention without charges or right to an attorney or trial? Consider most American activists don’t know what other activists and groups they networked or associated did in the past—perhaps illegal. Both the National Authorization Act of 2012 and USA Patriot Act are expansive and vague—what constitutes (1) supporting or aiding terrorists, (2) a terrorist act; (3) when someone is a “Combatant” or (4) “a Belligerent.” For example, Americans advocating, attending or supporting a meeting or protest demonstration against a U.S. Government Agency; Policy or U.S. Military Action—could be charged with (1) (2) (3) and (4) under NDAA and the Patriot Act.

    History Repeats: When other countries passed Police State Laws like The Defense Authorization Act of 2012, Citizens increasingly abstained from politically speaking out; visiting activist websites or writing comments that might be deemed inappropriate by their Police State Government, e.g. cause someone to lose their job; be investigated; disappeared and or detained in Police/Military Custody. Some writers might be dead-meat under NDAA. It appears that “Americans” who write on the Internet or verbally express an opinion against any entity of U.S. Government or its coalition partners—may under the Patriot Act or The Defense Authorization Act—be deemed by U.S. Government (someone likely to engage in, support or provoke violent acts or threaten National Security—to order an American writer’s indefinite military or prison detention.

    Is NDAA Retroactive? Can U.S. Government invoke provisions of NDAA or the Patriot Act to assert a U.S. Citizen’s past or current writings (protected by the 1st Amendment) supported or aided terrorists, provoked combatants or belligerents as a premise to order an author’s Indefinite Detention? The Defense Authorization Act of 2012 did more than Chill Free Speech—it may FREEZE IT! Consider: In mid-January 2012 Homeland Security announced the National Operations Center (NOC) received permission from Washington to monitor journalists and retain data on users of social media and online networking platforms. Could this Homeland Security spying, tracking Americans result in Citizens abstaining from visiting and posting comments on websites? It is not clear why Homeland Security wants to track users of social media and online networking platforms. You may read, search title: Homeland Security Monitors Journalists 1-7-12 at:

    It should be expected that indefinitely detained U.S. Citizens not involved in terrorism or hostile activities, not given Miranda Warnings when interrogated or allowed legal counsel; will also be prosecuted for non-terrorist (ordinary crimes) because of their (alleged admissions) while held in Indefinite Detention.

    Is the Defense Authorization Act of 2012) More Threatening to Americans than Hitler’s (1933 DISCRIMINATORY LAWS) That Suspended Provisions In the Reich Constitution That Protected German Citizens’ Civil liberties?
